After roughly explaining what happened, Kvedo stopped speaking; he simply led Carl through the gaps in the battlefield, and Carl no longer had the desire to speak.
Just then, the two saw Erich finally unable to hold on, a flaw exposed by the Soren Family member. The flamboyant red-haired man grinned fiercely and said, "Goodbye!" Then, as if he saw something, he fiercely swung at a certain angle towards Erich.
A colorless yet opaque radiance, of an indescribable color, emanated from Erich. This light instantly flowed over Erich's body, and faintly, one could hear the sound of reading emanating from this radiance, yet it felt like an illusion.
Even though this radiance appeared so mysterious and profound, it was not an impenetrable shield against the Reaper. A seemingly ordinary fist struck Erich, but the radiance on Erich's body protected him well. Nevertheless, Erich was punched over ten meters away, flying directly towards Kvedo.
Carl originally wanted to catch Erich, but Kvedo quickly blocked Carl's outstretched hand, while also ensuring that neither of them appeared in Erich's flight Pathway, as who knew what kind of Beyonder ability that seemingly difficult-to-deal-with radiance was.
Erich did not lose control in the air; he steadily turned and landed, but the radiance on his body became thin and disappeared in an instant. He looked at his body, revealing a helpless smile.
Kvedo and Carl quickly ran forward. Kvedo enthusiastically asked, "Hey, Erich, do you still have any extraordinary materialss of the same strength as before?"
"Alas," Erich shook his head, "After all, my main task was to study abroad, so one life-saving talisman was enough. I never thought of becoming a spy, and this situation is completely beyond my expectations."
Hearing Erich's words, Kvedo was not surprised. After all, Erich's main profession was indeed studying, and his secondary task was to seek cooperation with Rosell. This was very real in Kvedo's eyes, who had been monitoring Erich, as Kvedo and Erich had studied together for quite some time.
In the time that followed, Erich's actions were still controlled by the CIA, so Kvedo had never harbored too strong an animosity towards Erich. After all, if Erich truly had thoughts of harming Intis, the CIA would deal with Erich without the need for the Eternal Blazing Sun or the Soren Family to act.
However, this made things troublesome. Kvedo looked at Erich, who had an inquiring gaze, and smiled bitterly, shaking his head, meaning he also did not have such life-saving equipment.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems you are still willing to be killed by me. That's right, commoners should have the commoners'… uh, yes, ideological awareness. Since you are all standing together, good, let me eliminate you directly!" The annoying, flamboyant voice reached the ears of Kvedo and the other two.
The three hurriedly looked in the direction of the Reaper, only to see flames burning around that person. Although they didn't know the temperature, the air was distorted by the scorching heat, and the coating on the floor beneath his feet also seemed to have changed shape from the scorching.
Immediately, that person transformed into a fiery arrow. At the same time, Kvedo and the other two instinctively felt a huge weakness appear around their bodies in their Spirituality. This weakness moved with the opponent's movement. They were certain that if they were hit, they would surely die, but there was no way to dodge.
However, Kvedo had not despaired. He simply pointed the gaia transformation device at the floor and shouted, "Diffusion type, gaia!"
As the sound of gaia erupted, the floor collapsed!
Facts prove that even in another world, wherever the name of gaia rings out, no floor can escape destruction.
Although the fiery arrow firmly locked onto the three, it was insignificant in the face of the power of the earth. So, ultimately, amidst the constantly swirling dust, the Reaper's strongest attack was deflected.
Although the recoil of this ray emitter was much smaller, it still pushed Kvedo's figure into the sky. After Erich saw Kvedo's action, he immediately pulled Kvedo down. With the help of the flying dust and the collapsing floor, the three figures disappeared.
However, the danger was not over. After the Reaper landed, his eyes were like an eagle's, sharp and piercing. Although Kvedo and the other two barely escaped, the area below was not peaceful. In fact, the tavern on the first floor was also engaged in a fierce battle, but the Reaper did not seem to mind, clearly he had a clear understanding of this.
Coincidentally, the place where Kvedo and the other two fell was precisely the most intense part of the battle on the first floor. A man enveloped in golden light was continuously attacking a man holding a greatsword in a defensive posture, but he was quickly distracted by the sound of the collapse from above. However, he quickly reacted and immediately adopted a defensive posture without even thinking.
Facts proved that the measures taken by this Eternal Blazing Sun person were very effective. Soon, the person in the defensive posture fiercely swept the greatsword, which looked like no human could wield, horizontally. At the same time, the surface of the greatsword seemed to carry a layer of golden light, as if it were a greatsword cast from golden light.
Unfortunately, although this greatsword looked very fierce, its lethality was not as terrifying as one might expect. Although the Eternal Blazing Sun man was forced into a somewhat disheveled state, he still retreated a few steps with plenty of remaining strength, and chuckled, "Not bad! Although I heard Saiji was originally an excellent mercenary who retired decades ago, I didn't expect him to still be so strong after not touching a weapon for so long. Very good, very good!"
However, despite the praise, Saiji was still not happy. Instead, his face was grim. He looked at Kvedo and the others who had fallen, and a hint of surprise flashed in Saiji's eyes. He said, "Kvedo, you're finally down. I had a deal with someone, and now it's just you guys left."
Erich, holding Kvedo with his left hand and Carl with his right, felt utterly bewildered upon hearing this. He looked at Kvedo with a questioning gaze. Kvedo returned Erich's gaze with similar confusion. Erich was about to ask Saiji, but Saiji then asked the Eternal Blazing Sun member he was fighting:
"If I'm not mistaken, my ability to open this tavern in Trier should have been reported to the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Steam Church, and even the military. And we pay our taxes on time, even more. So why are you trying to kill us?"
